Information processing device and information processing method

Abstract

In an information processing device, a first acquisition portion acquires a usage end time and a usage end point of an automatic driving vehicle. A second acquisition portion acquires information about a side trip point of the automatic driving vehicle. A derivation portion derives an expected time of arrival of the automatic driving vehicle at the usage end point by way of the side trip point. A permission portion permits a drop-in at the side trip point when the expected time of arrival at the usage end point is before the usage end time.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An information processing device comprising:
 circuitry configured to
 acquire a usage end time and a usage end point of an automatic driving vehicle; 
 acquire information about a side trip point of the automatic driving vehicle, the information about the side trip point including a stay time at the side trip point; 
 derive an expected time of arrival of the automatic driving vehicle at the usage end point by way of the side trip point; and 
 permit a drop-in at the side trip point when the expected time of arrival at the usage end point is before the usage end time, to cause the automatic driving vehicle to travel to the side trip point. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
 when a start time and a start point of a next usage reservation are set for the automatic driving vehicle, acquire a first arrival time limit at the usage end point for the automatic driving vehicle to arrive at the start point for the next usage by the start time, and 
 when the expected time of arrival at the usage end point is before the first arrival time limit at the usage end point, permit the drop-in at the side trip point. 
 
     
     
       3. The information processing device according to  claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
 acquire a second arrival time limit at the side trip point for the automatic driving vehicle to arrive at the start point for the next usage by the start time without passing through the usage end point, 
 derive an expected time of arrival of the automatic driving vehicle at the side trip point, and 
 in a case where the expected time of arrival at the usage end point exceeds the first arrival time limit at the usage end point, when the expected time of arrival at the side trip point is before the second arrival time limit at the side trip point, permit a change of the usage end point to the side trip point. 
 
     
     
       4. The information processing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to, when the change of the usage end point to the side trip point is permitted, supply, to a user boarding the automatic driving vehicle, information about transportation from the side trip point to an original usage end point. 
     
     
       5. An information processing method comprising:
 acquiring a usage end time and a usage end point of an automatic driving vehicle; 
 acquiring information about a side trip point of the automatic driving vehicle, the information about the side trip point including a stay time at the side trip point; 
 deriving an expected time of arrival of the automatic driving vehicle at the usage end point by way of the side trip point; and 
 permitting a drop-in at the side trip point when the expected time of arrival at the usage end point is before the usage end time, to cause the automatic driving vehicle to travel to the side trip point.
